In this episode, I’m chatting with Kim John Payne, a family therapist and author of ‘Simplicity Parenting’, and we’re exploring how the relentless pace of today’s society impacts children's development and mental health. We discuss the issue of children's overstimulation in modern family life, how dialling back activities and fostering a simpler lifestyle can lead to more resilient and balanced children, the importance of giving children downtime, and how less can genuinely be more when it comes to parenting.
